PS4 & Wii U will be my System Purchases for Next Generation, Xbox 720 is out

With the Wii U being the first of the big three to release their next generation system, Nintendo has set a new standard for system versatility. Off TV Play with the Gamepad, Wiimote & Nun-chuck, and the Wii U Pro controller, the Wii U offers a bevy of ways to play your games. That type of versatility is exactly what I want out of a Nintendo system. MiiVerse is also one of the coolest applications to unite gaming communities ever, and is getting tons of love from around the internet. Sony has proven they deserve my money by releasing more quality games, free online play, and a premium service that’s actually worth my money. Microsoft on the other hand, has charged me for online multiplayer, released a firestorm of Kinect games, destroyed Rare, and melted three Xbox 360′s I’ve owned. It’s clear what systems I will be purchasing for the next generation of gaming: Wii U (which I already did) & the PS4.

I actually regretted buying X360, howether there were some great games on it.. I liked all Gears, Katamari and some multiplat titles like Bayonetta, Vanquish, Shadows of the damned and some others.. next gen for me PC, PS4, Wii U, 3DS and maybe Vita

@pangitkqb So you're buying everything basically. Well it's nice for some. I'm definitely buying the next Sony console. Basically the reason for this is games. I have played all of the top ps3 exclusives and loved them all(except for resistance haven't played it yet). However I can't say the same for Nintendo or Microsoft. Cant stand Microsoft exclusives for me they are to 'Bro-ish' and I don't particularly enjoy nintendo's first party games either.

If I was to go by what happened with the PS3, I'll be waiting a few years before I buy a new console from Sony. But if they can kick out games sooner at launch then I have no problem getting one sooner...if the price is right. I havent forgot buying a PS3 at launch only to be playing Resistance and a few atrocious multiplats :/

I'm rocking the same boat. I got a gaming pc late last year so I just have to update the gfx card. As far as consoles go, i'll be playing the wait-and-see-what-interests-me -the-most game, as I hold no brand loyalty. But if it turns out anything like this gen did, it'll be PS again - considering that gaming doesn't become any more casual than it has gotten.

I'm going with PS4 too. Despite a few hiccups (namely the Spring 2011 situation and SCEE's incompetence), my gaming experience with the PS3 has been nothing but a pleasure! It plays Blu-rays, DVDs and games with minimal space required! It has been fantastic using my PS3 over the last few years.

I Can honestly see Microsoft going for a more casual approach next gen having Kinect 2.0 as a pack in, especially seeing as the WiiU kinda alienates the casual crowd, Microsoft pretty much has every reason to target the casual crowd. I'm not calling anything yet I could be wrong but given Microsoft's focus in recent years it's a high probability.

My choice of systems are all three.why cut yourself short gaming.i know not everyone can afford all three but if you can go for it.when i was a kid i wanted every console that hit the market,but try telling your mother this 600$ neo geo is the next big thing will get you the look of death.but now that i'm an adult all i have to do is talk it over with the wife(like she can really stop me lol) but anyway i haven't miss owning all the console's since psx and i don't plan to started now.what really need to do is build me a gaming pc,not going to lie to you.graphics do matter! from a 2600 from the 80's to 360 this generation,graphics are the first thing a gamer notice about a new console.accept the wii.that lil wii remote did what nintendo does best.bringing in new gamers old,young and new.

Microsoft is going to have to bring the thunder in order for me to throw money at their console. Otherwise, knowing I have to be a Gold member to play online or...well, do anything, makes that the last console of choice. Between the Vita, Wii U and PS4/Orbis...I think I'll be good.

That's ALWAYS been the case for me. I love Nintendo consoles/handhelds and Sony's consoles and now handheld. Microsoft has nothing that interest me enough to push aside Nintendo or PlayStation products.

I had a 360 to go along with my Wii for the past gen. Now I have a Wii U and will definitley be looking at purchasing one of the two other systems. I have no allegance one way or another this time around. If the PS4 looks to have more features, then I may give it a go this time around. But to be honest, I may wait until both the PS4 and 720 launch (regardless of whichever comes first) before I make up my mind. If the rumours are true and one system is coming by the end of next year, I don't want to jump on the bandwagon too early, in case the other system comes along and completely blows it out of the water.

Correction, $60/yr not $50 & i feel the same way.. i have no use for xbox anymore since bioware doesnt make exclusive games on it like before.. I like fable but since 3, i didnt care for it.. I dont care for kinect & dont care for halo or gears..

Wii U for exclusives & PS4 for exclusives, multiplats, & online play.. Sorry microsoft, i wouldnt mind supporting it if there were games or services i wanted from it..

Correction, $60 if you buy from Microsoft. $30-40 if you have a little patience and wait for a deal to come around.

This gen I have mostly played PC and 360. I also have a PS3 and had a Wii (gave it to my nephew.) I am in the boat most others are though in that I will probably skip the NextBox if Microsoft doesn't add a lot more value to Live. PS+ has made Live look like a waste of money.

Currently i have both 360 & ps3 i have no allegence to either. This is the first launch though that I have no idea which way im going. Its all gonna come down to specs, launch price, & launch games. Ive actually been saving $10 a month for the last year in anticipation by next christmas i should have around $250 as a down payment so im ready :)

Wii U is awesome. I love my PS3, most of my friends have Xbox360, and I did have one for a year and a half. I just never picked up another one because between my PS3, PC, and yes even Wii. I had enough games to keep my busy on my down time. PS4 is a must for me, but I do worry about it costing $499 for a basic system like last time. I just picked PS3 up 3 years ago so I will have to see. PS3 really is not that much less right now than Wii U.

Have you even spent any time playing the Wii U, or are you just saying it sucks? If you have not sat and played it (not a demo at gamestop or walmart)perhaps you should. Also the Tech is not outdated. It is newer tech, and for those who think the clock speed means that it is weak are wrong. Like I did say though PS4 is a must for me, but not if a basic is going to be $499, if that is the case I would wait for price cut.

This article seems a bit immature and unprofessional, especially considering he is the editor in chief. Seriously, just read the article.

It's all fine and dandy for someone to express their feelings on the internet, in comment sections/forums etc, but for someone who is running a site, it shows just how bad the gaming industry is, in terms of professionalism among the journalist scene.

I agree with some of his' points, but as I said, read the article, and It sounds like an angry pre-teen fanboy. Although I don't like Kinect, who is he to decide they are less of a game than a non-Kinect one? Such close-mindedness by someone who should know better. Disgraceful IMO.
